2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 2024 sixth-round pick of the Patriots, Milton started one game as a rookie and made a big impression Week 18 against the Bills. In need of an understudy with some upside, the Cowboys acquired Milton to back up Dak Prescott, who was limited to eight games last season due to a torn hamstring. Prescott's injury history creates a plausible path to significant snaps for Milton in Dallas, but he still has to demonstrate his cannon of an arm has enough accuracy to be a reliable NFL quarterback.

RANKS
Tosses garbage-time TD
Milton completed three of four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in relief of Dak Prescott during Sunday's 44-24 loss to the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
With the game well out of reach, Milton took over for the Cowboys' final two drives of the game and punctuated the first by launching a perfect deep ball to Jalen Tolbert for a 35-yard TD. It was Milton's second late-game appearance of the season, but it likely won't be the last even if Prescott stays healthy given the state of the Dallas roster, as the combination of an elite offense and abysmal defense is a recipe for blowouts.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots selected Milton in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and while the Tennessee is no immediate threat to the depth chart standing of either veteran Jacoby Brissett or fellow rookie Drake Maye, the 6-5, 246-pounder is an intriguing developmental QB thanks to his impressive arm strength.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not locked in as QB2?
Milton may not yet have the backup quarterback role sewn up after a pair of poor preseason showings, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Milton has thrown an interception in each of Dallas' first two preseason games while producing only 265 passing yards on 47 passes for an unimpressive average of 5.6 yards per attempt. The offseason trade acquisition has been getting second-team reps behind Dak Prescott in practice consistently, but Archer believes the team could benefit from giving Will Grier an opportunity to win the backup job over the athletic yet raw Milton.
